Crazy-Ass Tom DeLay, Homophobia, And Righteous Bumper Stickers: The 2007 College Republicans Convention
23 July 2007, 5:38 PM. By Carlos Posas
Embedded here by popular demand, the above clip was shot and narrated by Huffington Post media crusader Max Blumenthal at this year’s College Republicans Convention. It’s the video that features disgraced former Congressman Tom DeLay delivering that soundbite about aborted fetuses and illegal immigrants we transcribed for you earlier. Some highlights from the nearly 8 minute romp through Republiland:
• At 2:27 a plague of physical ailments sweeps through the ranks of College Republicans all of a sudden, giving them believable excuses to not fight in a war they so intensely support.
• After that, at 3:37, the camera pans over a table piled with bumper stickers inspired by right-wing frat boys. (Our nominee for wittiest? “SAVE A TREE, EAT A BEAVER.”)
• At 3:45, DeLay takes the podium to ponder the connection between dead babies and the scourge of undocumented laborers in this country.
• At 4:07 a high school aged convention-goer argues that God didn’t create us to be gay, prompting her classmate to rabidly defend the fact he’s accepted and suppressed his own bi-curiosity. He’s stamped “Officially Not Gay” for his efforts.
It concludes with Blumenthal being kicked out on suspicion of colluding with the liberal media; he pulls away from the convention in his old Camry that sports a bumper sticker saying “DRAFT COLLEGE REPUBLICANS.” Creedence Clearwater Revival’s anti-war staple “Fortunate Son” plays as he rides into the sunset. (Much too campy for our tastes, but thanks, anyway.)

Before we even consider that the predominant “health reason” precluding these Collegiate GOP from serving is obesity, just knowing that they’d invite De Lay to speak, after his expulsion from Congress, after his indictment, says all we need to know about their character.
As to the individual performances, the male from the St. Louis Christian high-school is going to have a very special Christmas gift for his parents when he comes back at semester from Mizzou-Rolla — “hey, mom, I’m gay!” — while his coed friend… [see author's original draft].
I also liked that I got a flashback to “The Tom Green Show”, c. ‘99, toward the end, when Max Blumenthal did his ‘interpretive dance’ to attempt to confuse the bulging-necks-little-brains in-house security team into allowing him to stay. Go Blumes!
Amen, Biggie.
Also, “medical reasons” is this year “exhaustion”.
I loved the part about the not-gay homo getting all flustered about playing hide the scud missile and then praying to god for forgiveness. Girlfriend, please!
The abortion-immigration connection was possible the worst (best?) part. “Think about it!” Yeah I did Tom and I think your all douchebags.
or how about “you’re”
